Hi!  My name is Alexis.  I live in Albany, New York.  I enjoy hiking, camping and nature photography.  I love to be outdoors in the woods and forests, in all seasons and all types of weather.  I enjoy visiting new and different places and experiencing different cultures.  I like to cook and eat lots of different foods from all over the world.  Japanese food is one of my favorites:)

Previously, I lived in Japan for about ten years.  I taught conversational English while living in Japan.  I find it very rewarding to help people gain confidence while speaking English.  I speak and read some Japanese.

I look forward to practicing English conversation together.
